SOMERSET PLANT-NOTES FOR 1915. 

 By the Rev. E. S. Marshall, M.A., F.L.S. 



A GOOD deal of field-\\ork was done, last season, both in the 

 north and in the south of the county. The best addition was 

 Mr. H. S. Thompson's Carex lasiocarpa (filiformis) x riparia = 

 C. evoluta Hartm., from the peatmoor between Walton and 

 Ashcott Station, dis. 8, new for Britain, already announced in 

 last year's Journal (p. 309). Vicecomital novelties are starred. 

 Districts 1 to 4 and 6 belong to v.c. 5 S. Somerset ; the rest 

 are in v.c. 6 N. Somerset. 



Banunmdus circijiatus Sibth. 3. Streamlet, near Staplegrove. 

 B. iJeltaUis Schrank, var. jjenicillatiis (Hiern). 1. Haddeo River,

 foetidus L. 9. Hedgerow on the south side of Wavering Down, 

 above Compton Bishop, Dr. J. Wiglesivorth ; believed to be 

 native. 



Berberis vulgaris L. 2. " Fairly frequent in hedges : e. g. 

 Luccombe ; Porlock road, near the path to Horner; Timbers- 

 combe, &c." A. H. Wolley-Dod. 



Fumaria Borcsi Jord. 3. In several places between Halse and 

 Milverton, H. S. Thonipson. 



Sisymbrium Sophia L. 2. Still occurs at Steart, E. J. 

 Hamlin. 



Erysimum cheiranthoides L. 3. Cornfield, Feltham, W. 

 Watson. 



Lepidiwn heterophyllum Benth., var. cayiescens Gren. & Godr. 

 (L. Smithii Hook.). 3. Badger Street, W. D. Miller. L. Draba L. 

 5. Established by a cart-track, below Dunball Station. 



TJdaspi arvense L. 3. Cothelstone, W. Watson. 5. Dunball; 

 near Kingweston. 



Viola palustris L. 2. Ley Hill, W. D. Miller. V. odorata L., 

 var. dumetorum (Jord.) Rouy & Foucaud. 3. By the Milverton

 E. Drabble) is frequent in fields on Green's Combe Farm, above 

 Milton Clevedon. 



Polygala serpyllacea Weihe. 3. Langford Heathfield ; 

 Bathealton. 



■'Silene annulata There? 3. Fields near Milverton, Misses 

 B. and M. Falcon ! Known to them for some years ; last summer 

 it was abundant among Trifoliiim ificarnatum. I am not quite 

 sure about this identification (having had no opportunity of seeing 

 named specimens), but it appears to agree well with Rouy and 

 Foucaud's description ; they make S. amiulata a variety of 

 S. cretica L., distinguished by its almost globular capsule and 

 Journal of Botany. — Vol. 54. [April, 1916.] i
